Abstract
Context: An altered lipid profile may lead to the development of CVD.
Objective: We evaluated the protective role of baicalein (BAC) against lipidemic and oxidative stress in hyperlipidemic challenged Wistar rats.
Materials and methods: Male Wistar rats were given a high-fat diet (HFD) (suspension (w/v) of 0.5% cholesterol, 3% coconut oil and 0.25% cholic acid for 30 days) to create a hyperlipidemic model. BAC was supplemented to experimental rats (80 mg/kg body weight). Biomarkers of oxidative stress including ROS, FRAP, GSH, PMRS, AGE, MDA, PCO, AOPP, and other parameters (Paraoxonase-1, SGOT, SGPT) including TNF-α and IL-6, were estimated in blood.
Results: Oxidative stress and inflammatory markers were significantly increased in the HFD treated group. BAC treatment protected rats from HFD mediated alterations.
Discussion & conclusion: Our results indicate that baicalein provides protection against hyperlipidemic stress and redox imbalance induced by HFD in rats.
